Emma C, I am so sorry, I ran out of energy before I started making yours but I have the ingredients all ready to go and next minute I get, will be making them!

I made the oat and raisin cookies first. Emma G, I am a complete idiot and didn’t plan first. When I went to make them, I realised they were in the American “cups” format, which for some reason I cannot get my head round. I don’t have a set of “cups” and therefore run into trouble every time when it’s not a standard grams or ounces recipe. How pathetic!

Anyhow, I must have made a balls up somewhere, because although they look lovely, I made seriously enough to feed the five thousand, and the quantities were DEFINITELY off. I needed to add two more eggs and some water to get a consistency which would work, and they aren’t crunchy like they are meant to be. What did do wrong?! All the biscuits I ever make are the same. I want to make some biscuits which will snap in two!!

Anyhow, they taste fine although I wanted crunchy. I must have got the quantities wrong. 😀

Then, I made Ricky’s caramel square recipe. Not my son Ricky, but a friend! It causes great confusion at times!!

Oh dear GARD!!!! They are to die for. The recipe worked so, so well and was absolutely delicious. Regrettably, they are not really biscuits, but I can tell you I will be making those again!

So can you tell I am a bad photographer at the best of times, but even worse at food photography!! I just wanted to prove that I did do it! 😀

More updates to come as I get more cooking done! Thanks to everyone for their delicious recipes!

hi suzy
yes – it was indeed feed the five thousand quantities when i made it too. i actually used teacups because i don’t have any measuring cups….in fact, until your blog i hadn’t even thought about using actual measuring cups…..sorry they didn’t work so well! hope you’re ok and had a good day with your menfolk. xx
